Luigi Mangione has officially been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
After getting arrested at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, where cops claim he gave them a fake New Jersey driver’s license before ultimately admitting to be the wanted suspect, the 26-year-old was slammed with several charges in New York and Pennsylvania.
According to a criminal complaint viewed by E! News, he was charged in PA with forgery, firearms not to be carried without a license, tampering with records or identification, instruments of a crime and false identification to law enforcement. People reported he is being held without bail after his arraignment in Hollidaysburg, PA on Monday. He didn’t enter a plea, and his next hearing is scheduled for December 23.
